The Powers Within series

5 Minutes

Book 1



Amy is a mute child with a powerful gift and a certainty that the future has been cancelled. Marielle is a beautiful revolutionary with a passion for mechanical men. Lydia is a five-thousand year-old ghost with a hunger for vengeance. And Earth has only got five minutes—REAL TIME—to live. Across twisted Time dimensions (and a universe with a flower garden) battles, schemes and twists unravel. This story is a satiric Science-Fiction drama, proudly exhibiting absolutely no respect whatsoever for politicians. 

It describes the events which lead up to Earth’s death; a catastrophic annihilation, but a peculiar one, almost trivial. Because it unfolded in the most bizarre way, and no-one actually cared. 

Only a bottle-blonde pop star could possibly bring it back to life.

Heaven Expects

Book 2



Amy is a well-respected and gifted courier in the Ulterior Dimension galaxy. Her life is routine - but, most days, that's what she loves about it. Until she meets Aiden Armstrong, a handsome and secretive man who claims he has to be delivered to the Black Moon at the farthest extreme of the galaxy. 

Amy is not happy. She does not deliver people, she delivers messages: high security and top secret messages which only she is qualified to carry. But there is just something strange and puzzling about Aiden Armstrong that pulls at her curiosity. Primarily, the fact that he gives nothing away and won't even tell her why he has to get to his destination.

The question is, can Amy tolerate this man's moodiness, secrecy, and generally perplexing behaviour? As twists and secrets unveil, Amy realises that there are hidden powers within Aiden Armstrong who, on the face of it, just seems like a quirky and weird man down on his luck.

Assisted by her no-nonsense mechanoid, Kipper - along with her moody, sexually deviant, and quite possibly insane ship computer, Pegasus - Amy sets out on the delivery of a lifetime, where nothing is quite as it seems.

About the author:

Gareth Stokes is the wrong side of young, the right side of decrepit, the wrong side of rich, and the right side of starvation. Currently residing in the south-east of the UK, he is a greedy reader, enthusiastic reviewer and part-time blogger. He is a fan of science fiction, mystery thrillers, and the supernatural, but will read just about anything if the product description is interesting. He is older than he looks (or at least that's what he's convinced himself), and probably drinks a little too much caffeine. Currently sprint-reading through indie books of all genres and having a great experience with them, he is a keen reader, when he's not writing, and a keen reviewer, when he's not editing.
